Any chance of meeting the crew in Philly?

I know that there is an ABD Spirit of America trip in May. Any chance of meeting up with the podcast crew while you are in Philadelphia? I believe both lunch and dinner on that day are on your own. It would be great if we could put together a time for DISers who aren't on the trip to meet up with those who are on the trip. This area is crawling with DIS members.

I'm not sure if lunch on day 2 is a good option for a meet. They drop us off at the Reading Terminal Market to explore & have lunch, and then pick us back up after lunch to continue the tour. It would have to be a *really* quick meet. Dinner is probably the better option.

Makes sense. Besides, Reading Terminal is a zoo, especially at lunchtime. Plenty of great food, though. For dessert, I highly recommend either a cannoli or the amaretti cookies at Termini's bakery.

Got to get a Roast Pork with sharp provolone sandwich from DiNic's at the Reading Terminal! Its the kind of sandwich you will have dreams about. Followed by a cone of Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream from Bassett's!

I was just there on a friday for lunch a few weeks ago since I had to serve for Jury Duty and it wasn't overwhelming, I didn't think. Just keep in mind it is an indoor market so it's a bit chaotic but not bad.

I personally love the Flying Monkey Bakery myself. I've been craving a cupcake or Whoopie pie from them badly enough I feel like taking the EL there just for one!

I haven't tried Termini's yet but hear good things. I'm just not a fan of most Italian deserts so I'm a bad one to ask(which is bizarre since I'm part Italian, love Italian food just not their deserts.)

I'm up for a meet and depending on where it's held I might be available to help if asked.

I'm not exactly sure Steve. I just know is was canceled. I had emailed Kevin to find the best day and time to organize a meet and that's when I heard. John had posted the notice on the boards that same day.

Please, everyone, do consider coming to the NJ Meet. It's really not that far from Philadelphia and we will have a bigger, more action packed event than we could have had in Philly anyway.
Sign up before March to get extra raffle tickets. Deadline for all sign ups is April 1st.

I would, but since the Spirit of America trip got cancelled, I'm going to Greece with ABD in May instead! That kind of makes travel in late April a no-go...
